Why do I need to check driver licences?
Operators have a duty-of-care by law to check their drivers’ competency and capability. This means that regular driver licence checking is crucial in maintaining the health of your fleet. Continuous monitoring keeps you informed of endorsements or disqualifications, and helps you understand which of your drivers are eligible to drive particular classes within the fleet.
FORS requirement ‘D1 Licensing’ requires FORS operators to verify that all drivers hold a valid licence for the category and type of vehicle they are tasked to drive and manage any risks associated with endorsements or restrictions. This is to ensure that drivers are licensed to operate vehicles on the public highway and any risks that have been identified are monitored and managed.
